Lets Define Creativity…..
Use the categories to fashion a definition. Create a visual that shows the definition either as a model or a
metaphor

Constructs of Creativity
• Person• Process• Product• Press (Situation)
![Page 13: : Creativity Summer, 2012 Blogging debrief Telling the lie… Finding the lie… Context – typical vs. atypical information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed25503460f94be142b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Purpose of this course: Understanding the Theory
• most researchers agree that creativity involves “originality, appropriateness and the production of work of value to society
![Page 14: : Creativity Summer, 2012 Blogging debrief Telling the lie… Finding the lie… Context – typical vs. atypical information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed25503460f94be142b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Process
• Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. Creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.

• An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new.
• Although intuitively a simple phenomenon, it is in fact quite complex. It has been studied from the perspectives of behavioural psychology, social psychology, psychometrics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, history, economics, design research, business, and management, among others.
![Page 16: : Creativity Summer, 2012 Blogging debrief Telling the lie… Finding the lie… Context – typical vs. atypical information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed25503460f94be142b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The studies have covered everyday creativity, exceptional creativity and even artificial creativity. Unlike many phenomena in science, there is no single, authoritative perspective or definition of creativity. And unlike many phenomena in psychology, there is no standardized measurement technique
![Page 17: : Creativity Summer, 2012 Blogging debrief Telling the lie… Finding the lie… Context – typical vs. atypical information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed25503460f94be142b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Purpose of the course: Classroom applications
• Barker, Karpova & Marcketti (2008) say that creativity must be brought to the “center of focus when preparing future citizens to deal with uncertainty and to adapt to continuous change” (p. 1).
![Page 18: : Creativity Summer, 2012 Blogging debrief Telling the lie… Finding the lie… Context – typical vs. atypical information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ed25503460f94be142b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Purpose of creativity: Personal
• Our ability to express our deepest feelings is at the core of the importance of creativity. As humans we have a very strong need to express ourselves and we're happiest when other people understand what we are trying to get across to them.

Carl Jung
• Archetypes– • Psychological type: draws from the realm of human
experiences which raise the consciousness to greater levels of understanding
• Visionary type: the creative process consists in an unconscious animation
of the archetype and in a development and shaping of this image till the work is completed.
